Antarctic Odyssey, Through the Eyes of a Polar Pioneer
« on: October 24, 2011, 04:50:36 pm »

"The collector, Richard Kossow, told him that in 2001 he had purchased a portfolio of Antarctic photographs from the early 20th century. But these weren’t just any Antarctic photographs: They were from Robert Falcon Scott’s expedition of 1910-13, in which Scott and several other men, including Mr. Wilson’s great-uncle, Edward Wilson, died while returning from the pole."

It was interesting that Frank Hurley was mentioned in the article. Here was a man that could manipulate photographs long before Photoshop existed.
